Welcome Bicycle Anchor®

I am an avid bicyclist and inventor of the Bicycle Anchor® high-security bike rack. As a condo dweller in Minneapolis these past 35 years, I’ve dealt with the issues facing condo owners and apartment building managers. Where to put the bikes? Who do all those bikes piled up in the bike racks belong to? How to clean under a jumble of abandoned bikes?

The Bicycle Anchor was invented specifically for condominium and apartment building parking garages. It is designed to be used with a U-lock for maximum security in a common area. Bikes are identified, and kept up off the floor for easy maintenance. Plastic coating protects valuable bikes from scratches. They are easy to use and bicyclists "love ’em."

The Bicycle Anchor is a high-quality, low-cost option for your condominium or apartment building. I’ve been in business for 18 years and have sold over 2,000 thousand units. I do the installation myself. The Bicycle Anchor accommodates two bikes. Contact me for competitive pricing.

We are sure we can offer a solution for your bicycle parking needs.

Photo Gallery - Using the Bicycle Anchor High-Security Bike Rack

A high-quality bicycle hangs securely on a Bicycle Anchor (right)

Bike frames with slanting top tubes hang effectively on the Bicycle Anchor—women’s frame bikes can be accommodated, but will tilt downward.

Note that it is locked effectively with a U-lock with cable for extra security.


The Bicycle Anchor easily accommodates two bicycles (left)

Two touring bicycles are secured on each Bicycle Anchor. Bicycle Anchors can be installed in an upper-lower combination allowing the homeowner to store up to four bicycles in a single parking space. All bicycles are up, off the floor.

All four bicycles are securely locked with U-locks.


Bike Room Layout (right)
Using an upper-lower combination, bicycle storage can be created in bicycle rooms or on unassigned walls within the garage area. Bicycle Anchors can be used on a first-come/first served basis or can be numbered and assigned to specific residents.

Almost any style of bicycle can be hung on a Bicycle Anchor.
